How to Prevent Pop-Ups With Avast

The "On-Access Scanner Message" pop-up appears just above the status area of the Windows task bar and shows the files that are being scanned by the Avast! Antivirus application. This pop-up blocks the bottom-right corner of the screen, which may present a problem for some users. If you've become annoyed with the "On-Access Scanner Message" pop-up when running the Avast! Antivirus application, you may turn it off from the "Resident Task Settings" window.

Double-click the "Avast! Antivirus" icon in the status bar to open the Avast! program window.

Click "Standard Shield." Click "Resident Task Settings."

Click the "Advanced" tab.

Click to remove the check from the "Show detailed info on performed action" option, then click "OK."

Close the "Avast! Antivirus" window to minimize it to the status area of the task bar.
